BUSINESS NEWS A few weeks back I was walking down Cliffe High Street and an elderly couple walked the other way. It was obvious from their manner they were day-trippers. “Ooh look,” said the woman. “They’ve got a Bill’s.” Bill’s, of course, is a Lewes invention which has spread across the country, but at the moment we’ve got far more imports than exports, brand wise, and it seems the floodgates are opening when it comes to chains arriving in town. The latest news on this front is that our THIRD Costa opened in October in the station building; Jigsaw is only a couple of pieces from completion as I write and might well be trading when you read this column. Wetherspoon’s seems to have been put on hold, but for how long? We seem to be becoming a destination town: the danger is that we will start to look and feel like all the other towns who’ve been similarly invaded. The big hope, of course, is that the newcomers attracted into Lewes by the chains will also check out our independents, but we’ve got to be wary of some sort of tipping point. I don’t think we’ve necessarily reached that yet, and thankfully more idiosyncratic indies are still starting up in town. So it’s a big welcome to Lovely&co (above, left), opened by Enzo and Lucy, who’ve been running an online business from a warehouse near Aldi – and before that in Hove – and are moving into retail, too, in the spot where Brenda traded in the Needlemaker’s. In the same unit, on the corner of Market Street and Market Lane, Tania Borowski is opening her new functional medicine clinic and ‘concept store’, on November 6th. It’s also worth mentioning that The Print Centre, on Station Street, is being taken over by Mark and Jim, who already worked there under Lucy, who’s off to concentrate on her social media business. They’ve invested in new equipment, meaning they can do better quality prints – for artworks, for example – and bigger orders. When you’re down Cliffe way, take a look at Riverside (above, right), which has completed its facelift, and looks very splendid, making the most of its Ouse-side position. Moving a little out of town, we’ve been told that The Rainbow in Cooksbridge has been taken over and is open again after closing in April, which had left the village without a pub. Good luck to all concerned. And finally, talking about Lewes exports, as we were at the beginning of this column, we’ve heard that WE Clark, one of Lewes’ oldest businesses, is opening a new branch of their jewellery shop in Uckfield. It’s a long way from their neighbours Bill’s (75 branches and counting; last year they served 7.5 million customers) …best of luck to them in their new endeavour. Alex Leith 115
